"Smells good, what are you eating?" Shanrou looked at Li Zhiying and immediately asked, "How did the thing in your hand appear? I didn't see you hiding anything."

"Crunchy noodles, do you want to try?" Li Zhiying said with a smile, "Since I'm a shaman, although I'm not as powerful as a deity, I do have some skills. This thing is brought from another world, a rare delicacy!"

Li Zhiying had already decided to start as a shaman, so he immediately got into character.

Hearing this, Shanrou was slightly moved but didn't come over.

However, the strong aroma continuously tempted her appetite.

Finally, Shanrou couldn't resist and walked over to Li Zhiying, saying, "You just ate my mountain chicken, now I'll eat your crunchy noodles. We'll be even."

"Tsk, if you want to eat, just eat. Can't you be less utilitarian?" Li Zhiying said, "I consider you a friend. Even if you didn't give me the roasted mountain chicken, I would still give you some. Friends should help each other, and a promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold, like the trust between Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya. Besides, I really admire your strength and clear sense of right and wrong, so even if you didn't share the reward with me, I would still help you."

Hearing this, Shanrou's body trembled slightly, then she grabbed the crunchy noodles and started eating in a corner.

The taste was truly delicious!

Shanrou even closed her eyes, savoring the wonderful flavor.

After a long time, Shanrou opened her eyes and looked at the packaging in her hand, feeling reluctant to continue eating, as if she couldn't bear to finish it.

After a while, Shanrou sighed, "This thing is beautifully packaged, I wonder what it's made of. It's really pretty."

"It's just plastic, not very useful," Li Zhiying shook his head and pointed to the center of the lake, "Yuan Zong hasn't arrived yet, there's only Yan Ping. My throwing skills aren't very accurate. What if Yuan Zong drinks the poisoned wine?"

"Don't worry, Yuan Zong isn't that stupid," Shanrou said, carefully putting away the crunchy noodles and then speaking to Li Zhiying, "When Yuan Zong appears on the lakeside path, you can slowly approach him on a bamboo raft. Once Yuan Zong gets on your raft, I'll pull you back with my horse."

"Alright," Li Zhiying said, "How about this: when Yuan Zong is about to drink, I'll shout that the wine is poisoned."

Shanrou thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

Suddenly, Li Zhiying saw an old man appear on the distant road. As soon as he saw the old man, Li Zhiying stepped onto the bamboo raft and rowed toward the center of the lake.

As Li Zhiying approached, Yan Ping and Yuan Zong seemed to be having a heated conversation.

Finally, they were ready to drink.

"The wine is poisoned!" Li Zhiying shouted, then grabbed a stone from the raft and threw it at Yan Ping.

The throw was powerful and fast, but the aim was terrible, landing on the ground of the pavilion!

Hearing that the wine was poisoned, Yuan Zong was stunned.

Yan Ping, perhaps feeling guilty, immediately ordered the hidden warriors to appear.

Seeing this, Yuan Zong was furious and drew his sword to fight Yan Ping.

At this moment, Li Zhiying rowed the bamboo raft to Yuan Zong and shouted, "Senior, there are too many of them, let's retreat."

Seeing the large number of enemies and the small space on the lake, Yuan Zong immediately jumped onto Li Zhiying's bamboo raft.

"Shanrou, retreat," Li Zhiying shouted and pushed the bamboo raft backward with great force.

As an underground boxing champion, Li Zhiying had trained his strength more rigorously than any special forces.

With this force, the bamboo raft's pole creaked as if it were about to break, and the raft moved quickly, causing several Mo School warriors to fall into the water.

At this moment, Shanrou had already ridden her horse to pull the bamboo raft, quickly bringing Li Zhiying and Yuan Zong to the shore.

The two jumped onto the shore and, due to inertia, moved forward a bit before stopping.

"Get on the horse," Shanrou said, leading a horse over.

"Senior Yuan Zong, you get on the horse. I can't ride, so I'll drive a motorcycle," Li Zhiying said. As he spoke, a motorcycle suddenly appeared beside him.

Vroom~~ Vroom~~

When Li Zhiying started the motorcycle, the mechanical sound rang out.

Shanrou and Yuan Zong were very surprised.

Especially Shanrou, who almost fell off her horse in shock. Just as she was about to ask, Li Zhiying had already driven the motorcycle far away. Yuan Zong and Shanrou looked at each other, then heard the shouts of the attackers behind them, and immediately rode their horses to catch up...

Half a day later, at the foot of the mountain, Yuan Zong and Shanrou, each leading a horse, looked at Li Zhiying, who was empty-handed, with surprise and confusion.

"What was the thing you were riding earlier?" Shanrou asked, "Why did it make that strange sound?"

"A motorcycle," Li Zhiying answered, "If you want to know how to make it, I can tell you."

"Little brother, what happened to the motorcycle? How did it disappear?" Yuan Zong asked, "Are you a descendant of Lu Ban? You can make such special machinery."

"No," Li Zhiying answered, "I'm a visitor from another world, or you can call me a foreigner. I've returned to the Middle Kingdom to seek immortality, and I didn't expect to meet Senior Yuan Zong twice today."

Since he could teleport anywhere in this world, Li Zhiying was more relaxed and didn't mind revealing some things, half-truths and half-lies.

A visitor from another world? A foreigner?

Hearing this, Yuan Zong's gaze toward Li Zhiying changed: "Are you a deity?"

"No, I'm a shaman," Li Zhiying smiled, "Of course, you can also call me a sorcerer."

"I see, no wonder you have such amazing skills. But little brother, you're truly my lucky star, saving me twice," Yuan Zong said with a smile, "What a coincidence."

While saying this, Yuan Zong had some doubts about Li Zhiying.

Although he was kind and a good person, it didn't mean he was stupid. Someone saving him twice might have ulterior motives. As the leader of the Mo School, Yuan Zong was wary of anyone with hidden intentions.

"Just showing off my skills," Li Zhiying replied, "If I had known that Senior Yuan Zong was a master swordsman of the Mo School, I wouldn't have dared to show off."

Hearing this, Yuan Zong looked at Li Zhiying with slight surprise, thinking he might have been wrong, but still had some doubts: "By the way, how did you know I was in danger?"

"He didn't know, I did," Shanrou said, "He saved Senior Yuan Zong once and naturally didn't want him to be harmed immediately."

Hearing this, Yuan Zong found it reasonable and turned to Shanrou, asking, "What should I call you?"

"She's called Shanrou, and she's an assassin," Li Zhiying looked at Shanrou and said, "She wanted to deal with Yan Ping and coincidentally overheard that Yan Ping was planning to harm you, so she decided to interfere. I saved Shanrou, and when I saved you the first time, she appeared and told me it was unnecessary, then mentioned that Yan Ping was planning to harm you. After that, we came to the Panlong Lake. Hey, Senior Yuan Zong, you're injured?"

Li Zhiying saw the blood on Yuan Zong's shoulder and immediately said, "We shouldn't stay here. I'm afraid Yan Ping will come soon. Let's go up the mountain."

Hearing this, Yuan Zong knew it wasn't the time to question Li Zhiying and Shanrou's appearance and quickly ran up the mountain.

After Shanrou treated Yuan Zong's wound with a herbal medicine, she went to a farmer's house to buy a chicken and various nourishing items, taking care of Yuan Zong.

Yuan Zong didn't want to burden others and planned to leave after giving them some compensation, but after talking with Li Zhiying, he suddenly didn't want to leave.

In the Mo School, besides warriors, there were many skilled craftsmen.

Yuan Zong himself was a master craftsman and was very curious about how the motorcycle worked, so he asked.

After Li Zhiying explained the principle of the steam engine and drew gears on the ground, roughly explaining various applications of the steam engine, Yuan Zong was amazed.

"I've seen many tea-boiling scenes, but I never thought the force that lifts the lid could be a source of power," Yuan Zong said, "The world beyond is indeed different."

"Senior Yuan Zong, I have more than just this," Li Zhiying suddenly smiled, "We can discuss it further in the future."
